I have enough to learn both I think, how's it cooking, quickly?
@bowen
Didn't time it but I emptied the last of the quetz metal into it. It seems like it can do 3 stacks every 5-10 mins??? Can't really say for sure. I was nodding off as I finished up. I know one thing on my list is to metalize that building. I don't need a wild bronto wandering through and damaging the floor and wiping out that expensive ass forge
We can finally ramp up gunpowder production too since it cooks a stack a minute of wood, or so.
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me
Abdy, your points against fast travel only make sense in the context of a very specific game design
E.g., either deliberately antagonizing games where a hostile and tense environment is a central part of the design like DayZ or a linear adventure where backtracking is shunned
Open world RPGs that promote several central game hubs make sense to have fast travel as an option for various elementary reasons
nuh-uh. I'm talking about how open world RPGs shouldn't ignore the things linear adventures have to consider when they make your path. I didn't say anything about discouraging backtracking! Skyrim for example has plenty of reasons to make crossing your tracks still be interesting. The tedious bits come from how quests markers are all over the place and especially how to sell anything you have to jump between every fucking city to find enough merchants jesus christ you guys run your shops on low fucking margins.
Not that I don't think that hostile and tense environments shouldn't be present in way more games. In parts. That's a good way to make backtracking not be dull busywork.
You're not really making any sense in your argument and I'm just going to go back to sleep for a bit and get my bearings

I think it's not so much the open world, but the need to fill the open world with endless shit to grind that is the problem.
I feel that after 20 years I am done with any kind of economic system that requires a ton of time invested to get a sweet armor. Make me fight a boss, or solve a puzzle, or do some tricky platforming, but challenge me, don't ask me to kill 30 bears, 20 wolves, find 10 dankroots, mine 20 silver ore for a silver ingot and then bring that to the distant mountaintop because in RPGs the best smiths live as recluses instead of fuckoff rich in the middle of cities.
economy systems are fun if they are actual economy systems you can fuck with
like what Starsector is doing, you destabilize places with smuggling or piracy, create trade deficits by raiding convoys, etc. Exploit food shortages. It's fun.
Or like mount and blade, sooooooort of. Make incremental changes to prosperity by killing the farmers going to market. Or just loot pillage and burn, so it's kind of a one trick pony economy system, in reality.
Ugh, I miss just kind of wandering the borderlands of DAoC with my guild. Like maybe a full group at most. Just kind of trucking about. Farming. Finding a few small skirmishes. Never knowing where the enemy is.
Not like the golf course in Hibland but the hills in Albion or the mountains in Midgard.
I could do with mandatory bags of holding in stuff like Skyrim.
Inventory management when you're always collecting ambient items like ingots or whatever and shuttle runs back and forth from merchants or the chest in my house is much less fun than you think it is, game developers.
some of our own no-to-eu people are going yeah get outta there britain, ignoring that their arguments don't apply. Entering or not entering is not the same question as leaving. Their arguments are basically, we have it pretty nice, this is working out for us. We've got access to the inner market, shit's good.
The rest of the EU is not going to be kind to the UK after. In is in, out is out, as germany's minister of finance said.
EDIT: Seriously though what are the arguments for leaving anyway? Because they're not going to give the UK access to the inner market if they leave, so, what, really? Like, aside from the sovereignity britain strong I'm british not european arguments because *jerk off motion*
part of me, the same part that is curious what a trump president would look like, equally wants to see a brexit
I am kinda morbidly curious as well, to be honest. The short-term answer is: a mess. Long term, I have no clue, but I suspect a lot of angry, thick people will be standing, hands on hips, demanding why things haven't turned out the way they thought they would.
I am not saying that everyone who got burned on Kickstarter deserved to get burned but I do think there is absolutely a tangible return to caution and a bit of research
look at the person's business plan. look at their track record. if they have neither of those then what the fuck are you even doing on their page
*despairs over 20 dollars given to mn9*
I view kickstarters like gambling in Vegas, one should commit only to spending the same sum of money that one would also be willing to set on fire.
i am trying to remember what i actually kickstarted
pillars of eternity, which came out and i liked a fair bit and i backed on the basis of loving obsidian
obduction because i liked myst
cosmic star heroine because i really liked their other rpgs and they are PA bros
mn9, which i kickstarted for reasons that are entirely unclear to me because i have never liked any megaman game. maybe i was riding a kickstarter high after backing some other stuff?
indivisible because while i didn't really fall in love with skullgirls it was clearly a well made and well supported game made by cool people who i want to see succeed
pocket rumble because fighting game on PC was insta-kickstart for me (turns out it is too simple and has too small a playerbase to really be fun)
??? i think there was something else
anyway my batting average pretty good and i generally donated at like $20-60 tier so i don't really have ragrets except for mn9 and i guess pocket rumble

The rest of the EU is not going to be kind to the UK after. In is in, out is out, as germany's minister of finance said.
And if we want access to the single market, we'll probably have to do 90% of what we're doing now anyway, only now we don't get a say.
Unless they really want to stop immigration and nothing else and cut off everything. Sure, Johnny Foreigner won't get any of the pie, but your own piece will be titchy.

I'm carrying a volkswagen's worth of potions, because chugging the fuck out of potions is the only way to win, and half an elephant worth of ham because I need to eat a hundred kilos every swing this motherfucker takes, don't give me this shit about how I can't carry this sword with me

It's practically guaranteed that you'll not get that. If the UK leaves, the EU isn't going to have much reason to make leaving look like a good idea to anyone else.

I've only backed Shenmue 3 and the Homestuck game.
Both for amounts of money I could afford to lose.
If nothing comes out of either of them, so be it.

Iowa rep. Steve "Cantaloupe Calves" King, who is already considered kinda racist, is trying to block Harriet Tubman being put on the $20. But his office isn't taking any calls.
if Brexit happens I will be mocking and resentful towards the brits because goddamn it, I need the world economy to get better soon, I want a proper job before I'm 30
Encumbrance was a stupid mechanic in 1998, and it's a stupid mechanic in 2016.
